Green Bay vs. New England (Super Bowl XXXI, 1996) Green Bay's Greatest Games

In this classic from 1996, Brett Favre and the NFC's Packers take on Drew Bledsoe and the AFC's Patriots for the 31st iteration of the Super Bowl. Green Bay got of to a fast start thanks to a 54 yard touchdown from Favre to WR Andre Rison and a FG from Chirs Jacke. But New England battled back, and took a 14-10 lead at the end of the first. An 81 yard touchdown from Favre to Antonio Freeman gave Green Bay the lead right back in what was then the longest play in Super Bowl history, and the Packers extended that lead to 27-14 right before half on a Favre touchdown run. New England attempted a comeback in the 3rd as Curtis Martin rumbled in for a score, cutting the lead to 6, but Desmond Howard returned the ensuing kickoff 99 yards for the touchdown on the game's signature play and Green Bay converted the 2 point conversion to give them a commanding 35-21 lead, which would ultimately be the final score. Howard earned MVP honors, Favre threw for 246 with three total touchdowns and Reggie White set a Super Bowl record with 3 sacks. ALL RIGHTS TO THE VIDEO CONTENT BELONGS TO THE NFL.
